Abstract

In this report the authors begin with some historical data and point out the importance of education in human genetics of every modern doctor. On the basis of their six month experience, they emphasize the important role of a dentist in clinical genetics due to the fact that may syndromes have just their leading symptoms associated with teeth and jaws. They emphasize the great value of team work in which a dentist is primus inter pares. They report few patients from their six month mutual work. These patients were sent by a dentist and their final diagnosis was exta- blished in the Center of clinical genetics, in team work with a pediatrician, dermatologist and other specialized persons if necessary.
